More than 25 countries will be represented at the World Croquet Championships this year, with 80 players from across the globe travelling to Palm Beach to compete and lift the trophy.

Some of the world's top players will be in attendance, expecting the very best in playing facilities and accommodation.

The Get More From Your Stay package will provide guests with a choice from a bottle of chilled champagne, a romantic turndown, traditional afternoon tea, an executive two-course lunch or a late checkout.

It has been claimed that croquet was a past-time which King Charles II was especially fond of and his liking for the sport is shared by millions of people across the world today.
